Sage's horseshow at Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center

Sage had his first horseshow today out at Hearts. He did so great, had a huge crowd to cheer him on and had a blast. Thanks to all who could make it and for those dear ones who live too far away, I took as many pics as I could and we missed you lots =)

Trip to Bass Lake

A couple weekends ago we went up to Bass Lake for a reunion. We visited the camp where Dan and I met and fell in love (awwwwww) and were able to see many friends and professors from my college days there. It was great to be out in the mountains again, and yes, to scale the rock wall yet again =)

Three cheers for mama!

This is Caelan cheering us on
Go Sage!
Sage cheering Daddy
Sage's first climb

Caelan hanging with Daddy out in the meadowSage looooooved being in the woods, especially being able to play in the creek
And of course, swinging on the rope swing
But his favorite thing all weekend was of course, the train. No matter where we went all weekend all he kept saying was"choo choo" over and over and over again. Slightly annoying but way too adorable to care =)

Easter and more

Here's Caelan stunned at the sight of Easter eggs all over the houseSage coloring eggs
Sage is frustrated because he can't decide whether he wants to be a fireman, Superman, or knight fighting with a sword. Oh how I love imagination

Beach day!

This wasn't taken at the beach but I think it's my favorite pic these days =)

I was feeling brave (or crazy) the other day and took the boys to the beach on my own, all went quite well minus lots of sand EVERYWHERE by the time we were done. Then again, that's what the beach is for.
